Today’s Top 10

      If the country is in the top 10, it shows up in its spot. If it ranks lower, you lose a life and we tell you where it placed. Three mistakes and it’s over.

      How to play Top 10

      Top 10 shows you a ranking of countries (the most populous in Africa, the largest in the world, the ones with the highest life expectancy in Europe…) and you have to name the top 10.

      1. Choose a mode before you start: 3 lives or No limit.
      2. Type a country. If it’s in the top 10, it shows up in its spot with its flag and its number.
      3. If it’s in the ranking but lower down, you lose a life and we tell you where it placed.
      4. With 3 lives, the game ends at your third mistake. With No limit you keep going until you get all 10 or press Give up.
      5. When you finish you’ll see the full ranking, the source and the year of the data.

      FAQ

      What rankings are there?

      Area, population, density, GDP, GDP per capita, life expectancy, children per woman and forest, from highest to lowest and lowest to highest, for the world, Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe.

      Which answers don’t cost a life?

      Repeating a country, a country from another continent (in an Africa ranking, "France" isn’t a mistake), a territory or Vatican City, which aren’t part of the rankings.

      What happens with ties?

      If two countries have the same number, either one counts, but each one fills only one spot.

      What if a country is missing the data?

      It’s left out of the ranking and, if you type it, you don’t lose a life. A "No data" note shows up at the end.

      Where does the data come from?

      From the World Bank and world-countries, using the latest figure for each country. More details in Sources and credits.

      When does the ranking change?

      Every day at midnight your local time, the same for everyone. In Practice you get random rankings that don’t count toward your stats.

      Do I need an account?

      No. It’s free and you don’t need an account. Your stats and streaks are saved in your browser; if you clear the site’s data or switch devices, they start from zero. More in the Privacy Policy.
